No cracks that I can find on the Hi-Note horn! I am going to go junkyard scavaging tomorrow .... there were a bunch of mid-late 80's caddy's last time I was there so I will grab a couple off of them and try them out. I can get them for a couple bux, so no harm if they are not up to snuff. If that is not going to work, then I will get a new set.

Alight - took Gene's advice (mrvette) and hit the junkyard ..... got what looks as two mid-90s caddy horns (A & F notes stamped right on back). Then two from a 94 firebird that has nice weather resistant connectors all for less than $10 ..... I am going to hook up to first then maybe another for effect 
A couple of final questions, that someone can help me with:
What purpose is the relay for on the horn circuit ???
Would ADDITIONAL ADDED horn make it louder or not ???

Jeez - I have three horns now and I think I am walking more upright with a strut in my step 
Ended up with stock LOW note (top horn), and the two horns from 94 Firebird (had better brackets that were easier to fit than the caddy ones) and the weather-proof connectors.
The way it WAS sounding was "the Beav" trying to perform a Tarzan yell while going through puberty ..... NOW it is the GODFATHER
Thanks everyone - learned about horns!

If your going to go through all that trouble to change to a none stock horn why not have some fun with it and just buy a set of air horns that you can have some fun with... They are pretty simple to install usually come with a small airtank you can hide just about anywhere and you just need to run a 12 volt wire to the battery to run the compressor... You could really scare some old buick then..

My '69's horn works, but it would be neat to adjust it. I think I had two and I think that was an option. My car had the alarm and I may restore it at some point. So, anyways, tell me about using the screw to adjust the horn. If I adjust the frequency, will it appear louder?
